Jail Minister Sohan Singh Thandal on Tuesday afternoon visited the Ludhiana Central Jail where he greeted the Muslim prisoners with sweets and wished them Eid Mubarak.

The minister also inspected the jail factory where he announced that bakery and namkeen making unit would be expanded so that products could be provided in other jails as well.

The minister stated that he would take up the matter with the government regarding installation of CT scan, MRI machines at the Civil Hospital, Ludhiana, as prisoners need many investigations. This would benefit general patients as well, said the minister.
